TORONTO, September 14, 2023 – Hamilton Capital Partners Inc. (“Hamilton ETFs“) is pleased to announce the launch of the Hamilton U.S. Bond Yield Maximizer ETF (“HBND“). HBND seeks to deliver attractive monthly income, while providing exposure primarily to U.S. treasuries through a portfolio of bond exchange traded funds. To supplement distribution income earned on its holdings, mitigate risk and reduce volatility, HBND will employ an actively managed covered call overlay.
HBND has closed the offering of its initial Class E units. Units of the ETF will begin trading on Friday, September 15, 2023 on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the ticker symbol “HBND”.
“We are thrilled to launch Canada’s first covered call bond ETF[1], HBND. The latest addition to our popular yield maximizer ETF line-up[2], HBND targets an initial yield of 10%[3]. Combining the strength and security of U.S. government bonds with the higher income potential and tax-efficiency of covered calls, HBND, we believe, is aptly designed for investors looking for higher yield from the fixed income segment of their portfolios”, said Pat Sommerville, Senior Partner and Head of Business Development at Hamilton ETFs.
